1976 Mercedes-Benz W115 240D review from North America
"Wonderful car, would like to fix the smoke screen problem"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong yet. I just purchased this car from the original owner in Grand Junction Colorado. It seems to run great minus the fact that it blows more smoke than any car I have ever seen. Think "Uncle Buck" this is that car. I really am looking for any advice from anyone who might know where to start. Acceleration is typical black, which is ok. The second I let off the pedal it starts pouring out white and sometimes blue. At idle it runs high and just belts out blue smoke!!
The car is mint other than this annoying problem.
General comments?
Love the car for the price runs great other than above problems.
